Apollomics, a Bay Area-Hangzhou biopharma, started a China Phase I trial of uproleselan in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In 2020, Apollomics acquired China rights to uproleselan from GlycoMimetics in a two-drug, $189 million deal. Both drugs are novel E-selectin-based immunotherapies aimed at leukemia.

Apollomics was incubated by OrbiMed Asia to develop cancer immunotherapies. More details.... Stock Symbol: (NSDQ: GLYC) Share this with colleagues: // //
